Owen Corning 50 yr versus GAF

I have two roofers i am receiving estimates from. One uses Owen Corning 50 Year one recommends GAF. I was told the warranty with GAF is only good if the installer stays in business...is that true. Also, I received an estimate of $6,395 with the GAF shingles, not including skylights would would be another $1000. The OC estimate for the 50 year is $7850 with a 21 in skylight and some insulation in the attic. They are using 28 SQFT of shingles. I really need some advice.

either go online to GAF site or request a copy from the roofer.

As far as the money, I can't comment as that tends to be specific to the area
